USMC CREED

I WAS THAT WHICH OTHERS DID NOT WANT TO BE. 

I WENT WHERE OTHERS FEARED TO GO, AND DID WHAT OTHERS FAILED TO DO. 

I ASKED NOTHING FROM THOSE WHO GAVE NOTHING, AND RELUCTANTLY ACCEPTED THE FACT OF ETERNAL  LONELINESS.

 . .SHOULD I FAIL.
 
I HAVE SEEN THE FACE OF TERROR, FELT THE STINGING COLD OF FEAR, AND ENJOYED THE SWEET TASTE OF A MOMENT'S LOVE. 

I HAVE CRIED, PAINED, AND HOPED. . .BUT MOST OF ALL, I HAVE LIVED TIMES OTHERS WERE TO SAY  WERE "BEST FORGOTTEN". 

AT LEAST SOME DAY I WILL BE ABLE TO SAY 
THAT I WAS PROUD OF WHAT I WAS.
